I'd never recommend buying a BOSE product, some of them are "ok", and some are situational (QC series actually are useful for loud commuting) but most are plain awful, X10s are very neutral and true to life, my favourite IEMs.
And even if the IE2s were good (in which they are nowhere near as good as X10s) you shouldn't be giving your money to a company/manufacturer that prey on consumer ignorance with bad products and good marketing.

Describing audio is difficult, and while I'd agree that some of the lingo is just confusing to those who aren't familier with it (bright/warm/dark/transparent/laid-back are good examples) most of it makes sense. Muddy simply means the sound isn't clear or is somewhat distorted.

Whats the point of saying "Dark", Is it in anyways different from "warm"? The only time I've seen that word being used is in headfi, I've never heard the term being used elsewhere, especially to describe speakers.

warm has lots of bass frequencies without being muddy, dark has cut treble frequencies

no, muddy means that frequencies are mashing together instead of standing out on their own

Warm can also mean spacious, and muddy does mean not clear/distorted, the general meaning of muddy in regards to sound is the lows bleed into the mids but the proper meaning is just not clear, the opposite of transparent.

Just popping by to say that my HD598's are still freaking awesome after 5 months. Although it's personal, I really like the sound signature of Sennheiser. For me, they're the best bang/buck ratio before diminishing returns set in. Anyone looking into the $150-200 range, I wholeheartedly advice you to give them a spin in your local audio store. You might just fall in love with the best pair of cans for an affordable price.

Budget: 200-250.
eBay: No.
Country: United States of America.
Isolation: I didn't quite understand this one.
Purpose: Gaming-General use.
Music Tastes: Everything but Dubstep and Rap.
Previous Experiences: Not good and im to lazy to try and remember them
Comments: I want something that blocks sound pretty well and fits on my ears nice

I'd recommend a pair of Denon AH-D2000's.
They are currently 283 on amazon, but you can find them cheaper new on ebay.

If not then I have no idea really. Maybe some ATH M50's if they're cheap enough?

Couldn't find HTF600 or the Modmic from any Finnish online stores.
Lowest price on ATH M50's was 143.90€, could order if they're worth it.
I imagine they sound quite better compared to Fatality's HS1000?

Edited:

Oh, you can buy the Modmic from their own site with Paypal.

DT-770 80ohm/250ohm or Ultrasone 580s would be a lot better than M50s for your uses and tastes.
Audio-Technica ATH PRO700MK2 too.

Not for those genres, especially not rock, and you want forward mids and mid-bass for jazz/blues, XB are good for electronic and most pop, Brainwavz HM5, Shure SRH840 and Sennheiser 598 will be great for your music tastes, the sennheisers would be best but they're a little expensive and are open, but rock/jazz/blues sound fantastic on an open headphone.

Comments: I would prefer a headset or a deacent mic alternative that hasn't got masses of cables ( I have a habbit of running them over or getting tangled up )
Was looking at: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/razer...gine!-the-best again another ?
Would prefer links to well known stores EG amazon, scan, overclockers, company stores ect. Ebay is a no

B&W has really been hyping itself, you can even find these at the apple store now. Wouldn't expect much of them, the B&W speakers I listened to were the most overpriced and overrated pieces of shit I've listened to. IE 685s, 684s, cm1s and cm5s

Also... are there any portable "stylish" headphones out there with sound to match? For a moment I thought these would have been good http://www.aiaiai.dk/, but they turned out pretty unspectacular.

The P5s are well known as being the 'best' portable headphone (neutral sound), although I'm not a fan of the aesthetic myself.

I'm looking for some on or around ear headphones, that i can wear on the go.

Budget: around €50 (or $50 because things generally are a bit more pricy here)

eBay: no

Country: the netherlands

Isolation: no preference

Purpose: listening music outside and on the move

Music Tastes: funk, jazz, rock

Previous Experiences: i own meelectronic m9's which are genuinely great, but i don't always agree with them being inside my ears. I have very limited experience with non-in ear headphones

Comments: they should be able to handle some abuse, off course i will take care of them but they will be used outside. Another thing is that they should look nice, preferably cover the ear, but not massive cans or skullcandy graphics. And last but not least, i'd like them to be able to fold up for transportation. (also they should sound nice...)

I've been looking around for a while, but maybe any of you can help me out.
